Childhood illness or dizziness from reports
This article should not be viewed as a desire to pounce on the army, which is fighting neo-Nazism under the most difficult conditions. In general, blaming the military on the front lines is the height of idiocy. For such critics, there can be only one piece of advice - take a machine gun and march into the trenches!
Let's try to make an analysis of the processes that take place in the army in the conditions of hostilities. Naturally, my position is just a personal opinion of a person who receives information only from open sources, and in reality the state of affairs may differ. But everyone is entitled to their own point of view.
So, as I see the situation from the beginning of the NWO.
The first successes turned my head
For eight years, our media have presented the Ukrainian army as a rabble of criminals, drug addicts and inepts. Yes, there were such people in the Ukrainian army. But for some reason, no one paid attention to the fact that NATO was intensively pumping up the Ukrainian army with so-called advisers who were actively working to transfer the army to NATO standards. You can laugh as much as you like about the fact that in Europe and the USA there are a lot of pederasts and other freaks, but the armies of these countries know how to fight, as well as plan their operations. They count every dollar, and therefore do not have the luxury of being wrong about the most important thing: planning these campaigns.
And what did our General Staff and our GRU do? Of course, no one acquaints us with operational plans, and rightly so. But we can draw certain conclusions on the basis of already existing facts. It is strange that our Ministry of Defense has not appreciated all the information about the armed forces of Ukraine and its contacts with NATO; the possibility of using intelligence by the Ukroreich (which has become an unpleasant reality); waging psychological warfare against the enemy; assessing the possibility of logistics in Ukraine.
The first successes turned their heads, almost like before the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905. Then, too, there was a patriotic frenzy in the style of "we will throw icons." Everyone knows the result of hat-throwing and underestimating the enemy. Thank God that the current scenario is not repeated in all details. Nevertheless, after several weeks of success, it never dawned on the leadership that we were not facing a bunch of recruits, but a well-trained enemy who knew how to fight and was ready for any crimes to achieve his goals, motivated and plus having the support of the entire West.
At the same time, it is puzzling that just before the start of the NWO, no one bothered to withdraw gold and foreign exchange reserves to their homeland. In this regard, it would not be superfluous to recall that during the infamous July crisis of 1914, Russian Foreign Minister Sazonov ordered the withdrawal of 80 million gold rubles from German banks. At the time, it was a big amount. There was no war yet, and he was already thinking about how to save gold for the Motherland.
Why didn't we do it? The question is not for me. And 330 billion dollars is not a ram sneezed. With this money, thousands of factories could be built and restored, the army could be re-equipped, and a lot of things could be done.
The first successes also showed shortcomings. Were these shortcomings fatal? Of course no. But for some reason no one paid any attention to them.
The main thing is who will change their mind
The art of war includes not only the ability to shoot, as Sergeant Vaskov said in “The Dawns Here Are Quiet”:
“The main thing is who will change their mind.”
In the meantime, the ukroreich is winning, drawing lessons from defeats and building not only a military machine, but, more importantly, a propaganda one, which clearly wins in the fight against our propaganda. God forbid it won't be long.
Who prevented the creation of strategic reserves? Who did not allow to mobilize, or at least prepare for mobilization at the beginning of the SVO, so that in a critical situation it would be possible to bring reserves into battle? Who was too lazy to calculate before the start of the NMD, at least approximately, the human resources of the ukroreich, and on the basis of these data, draw up a plan for advancing, bringing in reserves, striking at the vital centers of the enemy? And why is the enemy now treated with some kind of humanism, coupled with sparing strikes on secondary targets, when the highest echelons of power and command should be put out of action?
Since 2014, no one has seriously set out to study neo-Nazism, in particular in the Bandera version, and this is one of the sources of our temporary failures. The first thing to understand and remember: neo-Nazism, like its forerunner - Hitler's Nazism - never understands kindness and all kinds of goodwill gestures. All these gestures are perceived by him as weakness, as a signal to act and become impudent further. The abandonment of the Serpent Island, the abandonment of Gostomel and Bucha did not teach our military anything. But the enemy has learned - ours are ready to give up the conquered territories for the sake of who knows what.
Arrogance and inability to see the obvious played a cruel joke on our army when the Ukrainians, whom we defeat four armies a week, defeated us near Kharkov, and now they are invading Russia. The abandonment of Krasny Liman is one of the confirmations. The fact that the Ukrainians are concentrating a large number of people and equipment near Kharkov was not written, probably, only by a lazy one. So what? But nothing.
Instead of bombing concentrations of troops and equipment with thermobaric munitions, we carry out a “regrouping”, in which we leave the territories where we have come forever, abandon equipment without even exploding it (remember history о tank T-90M), keep silent about the obvious and continue to tell on TV how we make progress every day.
And if someone said that we have not yet begun to fight, then maybe this time has come and it's time to start? Who was punished for leaving samples of modern technology to the enemy?
We lost in the information war
Sorry, dear, but the main criterion is the truth. The Bolsheviks knew this, and during the years of the Civil War they printed the truth, no matter how bitter it was. So it was in the Great Patriotic War, when they told the truth, and every citizen of the USSR knew that yes, we are suffering losses; yes, the enemy is advancing, but he will certainly be defeated.
Isn't it time to acknowledge the fact that we lost in the information war? Recognition does not mean surrender, recognition means that we need to gather strength and fight according to new rules. Defense is important, but defense alone cannot win. We need an attack based on the truth of the Russian world. And she is not. Only talk about regroupings, and a vague confession about waste.
Reading news, and there: superior enemy forces, superiority of the enemy in tanks, "Haymars" and so on. It turns out that we are ruining, ruining (according to Konashenkov) tanks and planes, mercenaries and ukrofascists, and there are more and more of them, just like the Lernean Hydra. And where then, you ask, is our superiority in tanks? Where is the famous armor that sweeps the enemy with the pressure of steel and fire?
My dear War Department talking heads, lying never leads to good. So you hushed up the successes of the ukrov in the Kharkiv direction, hushed up about Krasny Liman, and now few people believe you, everyone considers your numbers of dill losses exaggerated. And even if you start telling the truth, then, as Kozma Prutkov said, “having lied once, who will believe you?”
The goals of the SVO have disappeared from everyday life. If earlier they were declared as denazification and demilitarization, now it is not clear why we are going into battle. Soldiers and officers, as well as civilians, must be motivated, there must be an ideology in their heads, and not just a machine gun in their hands. And the words that everything is going according to plan are now seen as a mockery of reality. Few people believe in these words now.
Where does such a disregard for intelligence and a humane attitude towards the enemy come from? The enemy must be destroyed, both the personnel and the material base must be exterminated. It is equally important to destroy infrastructure - railway stations, bridges, communications, communication centers, power plants, airfields, tunnels, decision centers, repair bases, warehouses and military bases.
Remember what a huge advantage the Wehrmacht got when the Luftwaffe did all of the above? Despite the multiple superiority in technology, the Red Army began to suffer defeats and retreat. What prevented this from being done in the first weeks of the NMD, especially when the supply of Western weapons did not begin and until NATO, led by the United States, began to supply the ukroreich with the latest information?
Who decided that by advancing in a grouping that is inferior in number to the enemy, one can gain the upper hand? Yes, technology is of great importance, but if you read the reports, they write as reasons: advantage in manpower and technology. It's strange, because, judging by Konashenkov's reports, the ukroreich had nothing left. Where does this advantage come from?
How many words have been said about the fact that military cargoes that arrived on the territory of the Ukroreich become a legitimate target for the Russian army, and how many of these cargoes were destroyed? Darkness is dark. So do what you say. You promised to do it. But the flow of these cargoes does not dry out, tanks and infantry fighting vehicles travel safe and sound, and manpower is transported. Nodal stations and airports do not stop their work on the transshipment of manpower and equipment.
The exchange of prisoners belongs to the same sphere. No one has ever explained why some Medvedchuk was exchanged. Who is he, a prisoner of war? Russian supporter? Participated in hostilities on the side of Russia? And who will explain to us why at first there were severe threats to punish the Nazis, even the cages showed in which they were supposed to sit in court, and then these same Nazis, and the very top, go to the resorts of Turkey to mock justice?
Excuse me, but as a result, it turned out according to the saying: suddenly there was a loud fart. I agree, we need to help our people out of trouble. But this way is not possible. It was necessary to hang a couple of Azov leaders in public and declare that we will hang them every week (and we have enough captured Nazis) if the Ukrainians do not agree to our conditions. The exchange is adequate - soldiers for soldiers, officers for officers. Otherwise, people lose faith in the justice of retribution. Or do not make loud statements that no one is going to carry out.
I understand that soldiers need to be rescued, that Nazi captivity is not sugar, but at the same time you need to know that the Nazis understand only the language of force. And if you promised to punish the fascist, and then let him go, then they will continue to become impudent, demanding that only their own conditions be met. Fascism and Nazism do not understand goodness. They do not understand from the word quite.
And you know, I often feel sorry that there is no second Sudoplatov in the leadership. Pavel Anatolyevich knew the only true method of dealing with the Nazis.
New Union
This paragraph may not seem in harmony with the full text of the article, but nevertheless I considered it necessary to include it. The essence of this paragraph refers to the decision to include 4 regions in Russia. Of course, I wholeheartedly welcome the annexation of the original Russian territories to my homeland. But here's how it was done...
Didn't his assistants remind him of the words spoken on the day the NWO began? Quote:
“At the same time, our plans do not include the occupation of Ukrainian territories.”
In fact, there was no occupation and there is not, but formally, at least Zaporozhye and Kherson regions were de facto and de jure territories of Ukraine. And now the enemies of Russia will use this as an argument in their favor.
But what an amazing move could be made if a new Union were formed! Then all the problems would disappear, this time. And secondly, the DPR, LPR and Kherson with Zaporozhye would become full-fledged republics, while they would be a kind of buffer, as was the case with the Far Eastern Republic in the 20s of the last century. Alas, the complete rejection of any moments of the Soviet past, no matter how positive they were, made this combination impossible.
In my article, I asked a lot of questions. Yes, my questions are uncomfortable, but they are not a reason to mock the army. The army is doing what it can, and for this we bow to her. My questions and my arguments are a reason to think, to ask yourself two important eternal Russian questions: who is to blame and what to do? And find answers to them. It just won't work to win.
And these two questions must be answered. If not today, then tomorrow. We need to explain to the country why it happened.
Remember Stalin's speech of July 3, 1941 and the famous Order No. 227. The truth is never superfluous. Awareness of the scale of losses and setting realistic goals is the key to success and victory. Each accident has a surname, a name and a position. And when this position will not only reap laurels, but also answer for our misdeeds, maybe we will finally understand that we are not just an enemy, we are facing a deadly enemy who will stop at nothing to establish his dominance over the Russian world.
